Definitions

  • This invention relates to hand tools for crimping electrical connectors of the type used for joining the ends of'electrical conductors to provide an electrically conductive 'joint therebetween.
  • Hand tools embodying the present invention can be used in a variety of different ways to crimp many different types of connectors.
  • the utility of the present hand tool can be most conveniently pointed out by selecting a specific illustrative application for which it is especially useful. Accordingly the tool will be initially described in relation to its use with respect to a sleeve type connector such as that described in the copending application of George T. Ritter, Serial No. 242,850, led August 21, 1951.
  • a connector of this type is illustrated in Figure 14 of the drawings of the present application.
  • the insulation is stripped from the ends of the conductors to predetermined distances that are proportioned to the wire sizes of the conductors, and the stripped ends are then inserted into the sleeve connector until they are in substantially abutting relation Within the connector. Thereafter the connector is crimped with a suitable tool at several points to provide thel joint illustrated in Figure 14. Referring to Figure 14 the center crimp engages the stripped ends of the wires to provide an electrical connection therebetween and the two end crimps 12 engage the insulation of the conductors to provide a tight joint.
  • a hand tool of the general type to which the present invention relates commonly comprises a crimping head provided with one or more crimping molds, a plunger having one or more dies aligned with the molds ofthe crimping head, a pair of pivoted handles connected to the plunger and operable to force the plunger dies toward the molds to crimp a connector therebetween, and a magazine or the like containing a supply of blank connectors that can be fed to the tool for crimping.
  • Such tools be provided with an automatic feed, that is, that they be so constructed that upon retraction of the plunger a connector blank is automatically fed into the path of the plunger and advanced thereby toward the molds of the crimping head.
  • a feed that may be called semi-automatic in the sense that feeding of the connectors is eiected by manual manipulation of a part of the tool that operates independently of the plunger-operatingy handles.
  • the operating handles can be actuated a number of times to cause the plunger to re-crimp a given connectorwithout having another connector blank fed into the path of the plunger to interfere with the re-crimping operation.
  • Figure 1 is a top plan view of the hand tool showing the crimping head and the toggle action of the operating handles;
  • Figure 2 is an elevation further showing the general organization of the hand tool
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of the crimping head with the upper portion thereof removed to show the manner in which the crimping dies of the plunger cooper- ⁇ ate with the crimping molds of the crimping head;
  • Figure 4 is a vertical section taken substantially ou the line 4 4 of Figure 1 and showing the plunger in advanced position and the location of the connector blank magazine just after it has been initially inserted in the hand tool;
  • Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 4 showing the plunger and magazine in retracted position.
  • Figure 6v is ⁇ a View similar to Figure 5 but with the magazine advanced to feed a connector for crimping;
  • Figure 7 is a View similar to Figure 6 showing a con-j nector being crimped by the plunger, which is shown in its advanced position;
  • Figure 8 is a perspective view of the magazine showing its general organization
  • Figure 9 is a top plan view of the magazine showing a number of connector blanks therein, the connector follower and the actuating spring of the magazine;
  • Figure 10 is a vertical section taken on the line 10-10 of Figure 9 further showing the relationship between the connector blanks, their follower and the actuating spring;
  • Figure 11 is a top plan view of the magazine slide that closes the discharge opening of the magazine prior to its insertion in the hand tool;
  • Figure 12 is a perspective view of the connector blank follower
  • Figure 13 is a perspective view of the wire holder
  • crimping head 14 nearest the crimping head 14 are pivotally connected by a pin 24 to each other and also to a plunger 26 mounted for reciprocating movement within the crimping head 14.
  • the crimping head 14 is provided With a central crimping nest or mold 30 flanked byfthe crimping molds 32 and 34 on each side of the central mold.
  • the end of plunger 26 nearest to the crimping molds is provided with corresponding dies which,
  • the cooperatiughandles p and 22 support a ratchet mechanism 36 that prevents separating of the handles until after they have been closed to the extent necessary to crimp a connector, and an insulation stripper .38 that can be operated .to cut and ⁇ strip a predetermined length of insulation from an insulated conductor.
  • the ratchet mechanism and insulation stripper can be Vof .any suitable and known construction and may be, for example, constructed like the corresponding parts ofthe hand tool shown in the Klingler application Serial No. 254,117, led October 3l, 195 l.
  • the wire holder member 40 Extending over the top of the crimping head 14 and secured thereto there is a wire holder member 40, the configuration of which is best shown in Figure 13 of the drawing.
  • the wire holder ⁇ comprises a U-shaped frame 42 secured to .the .head 14 by rivets 44 and having a pair of forwardly extending arms 46 that extend past lthe crimping molds .of the head 14 on either side thereof.
  • Each of the arms 46 is provided with a slot 46a within which a conductor can be wedged to hold its stripped end properly positioned .in a connector within the crimping head.
  • a magazine actuating plunger 48 that is urged upwardly by a spring 50 interposed between the lower surface of plunger 48 and the bottom surface of the vertical bore 47.
  • ⁇ Plunger 48 is cut away at one side to form a narrow slot 54.
  • a pin 56 ⁇ is .seated in plunger 26 and vextends into slot 54 in such manner as to prevent rotation of plunger 48.
  • a ramp-like member 60 which in Figure 3 Vis shown detached from the crimping head 14 but normally forms part of the vcrimping head.
  • the ramp 60 is cut away to form a notch 62 that registers with the bore 47 of plunger 26 and receives the retracting pin 58 when plunger 26 is withdrawn.
  • the width of notch 62 is less than the diameter of plunger 48 and hence the lower surface Aof ramp 60 (see . Figure 4) provides *a stop to limit upward Vmovement of plunger Y48.
  • the ramp 60 cooperates with the top and upper side portions of frame l42 of wire holder 40 to define a channel :64 that is constructed and arranged to receive a connector blank supply magazine.
  • the construction of the magazine which is generally designated by the numeral 66, is best shown in Figures 8 to l2 of the drawings.
  • the magazine is of hollow, generally rectanguloid construction with a longitudinal slot 68 at its upper surface and a discharge opening 70 at its left hand end (as viewed in Figs. 8 to 12).
  • the magazine is adapted to contain a series of connector blanks 72 that are 'urged to the left by a follower 74 and a spring 76.
  • a -slide 78 Prior to use in the hand tool of the discharge opening 70 of the magazine is closed by a -slide 78 that is constructed for sliding movement along the bottom wall 80 of the magazine.
  • the slide 78 is provided with a notch or slot 82 that cooperates with the retracting pin 58 in a 4manner described hereafter.
  • slide 78 has a downwardly extending lip 84 which ⁇ (see Figs. 9 and 10) extends through an opening ⁇ 81 in the bottom wall 80 of the magazine and helps in guiding and positioning the slide 78.
  • the wall .80 of the magazine 66 is provided with a notch 86 having a shape similar to that of the notch 82 of slide 78.
  • the ⁇ rear end of the magazine 66 is closed by a spring clip closure member 88 (best shown in Fig.
  • FIG. 4 The manner in which connector blanks are fed to the crimping molds for crimping is illustrated in Figures 4 to 7 of the drawings.
  • the magazine is shown in this figure in the position it occupies when first inserted in channel 64 of the hand tool.
  • the plunger 26 is normally in its advanced position with handles 20 and 22 together when a full magazine is first inserted.
  • retracting pin 58 engages notch 82 of slide 78 and restrains its against further movement to the left.
  • the slide 78 is in effect Withdrawn to permit connector blanks to be fed from the magazine through discharge opening 70.
  • the notch.82 of slide 78 is aligned with the notch 86 of the lower wall of magazine 66.
  • buttons 94 engage the holes 96 in the magazine housing.
  • the magazine 66 When the plunger 26 has been fully retracted, the magazine 66 is manually advanced to the position shown'in Figure 6, whereupon a connector blank drops through the magazine discharge opening 70 into the path of yplunger 26.
  • the handles 20 and 22 are then brought together to position the connector blank against the molds 30, 32 and 34, the wires to be connected are inserted in the ends of the connector blank and also in the wire holder slots 46a, and the handles are pressed together to crimp the connector as indicated in Figure 7.
  • a simple and effective manually operable means is kprovided for feeding connector blanks for crimping, and the mode of cooperation of the connector blank supply and other parts of the hand tool is such that the plunger can be fully retracted and advanced without feeding a second connector blank for crimping until it is desired to do so.
